Change Auction ID Format

nlordell commented 1 year ago

This issue captures the work to:

[ ] Propose and find some consensus on what we should use for an action ID (some proposals are UUID, so that they are unique across deployments, and ULID so that they are probabilistically unique and lexicographically sortable).
[ ] Implement the required changes to the code to reflect this change.

_Originally posted by @ennmichael in https://github.com/cowprotocol/services/pull/962#discussion_r1049867772_:

This might be a good opportunity to start using something like a UUID for auctions. I believe this would be beneficial, since auctions would no longer suffer from not having unique IDs across different chains, and instead be truly, globally, unique.

(Of course I propose doing this only if it's technically possible, i.e. the settlement contract allows it and so on.)

Currently auctionID seems to be the primary key of the auctions table

Wanted to resurface this, as I believe there is value in coming up with a unique auction id that can also be made publicly available and referenced, for example, in Dune.

This would make things much easier and transparent for solvers.
